Product Details

Cardone’s Windshield Wiper Motor line traces back to the company’s first remanufactured product offering, and the 40-440 continues that OE-focused approach. This remanufactured wiper motor is built to restore front windshield wiper operation on Chrysler Concorde, Chrysler Intrepid, Chrysler LHS, Dodge Intrepid, and Chrysler New Yorker applications listed above. The package includes the wiper motor and instruction sheet, and this unit does not include a washer pump.

This part cross-references Chrysler 4723419 and 4756018 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Resolve

• Front wipers that stop working or move intermittently
• Wipers that park in the wrong position after motor replacement
• Slow or inconsistent wiper sweep across the windshield
• Noise or binding from a worn motor assembly
• Loss of reliable windshield clearing in rain or road spray

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original wiper motor configuration before installation, especially washer pump compatibility. Some vehicles will not operate the motor if the washer pump circuit is defective, so bench testing the motor and washer pump before replacement can prevent repeat diagnosis. If the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, parking misalignment is often corrected by adjusting the crank arm position on the motor shaft to restore proper park location.

For moisture-sensitive systems, a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror sends input to the control module, which then adjusts motor speed. Confirm the vehicle’s system type before service.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured wiper motor is re-engineered, tested, and validated to match OE performance. Main components are gauged or tested to OE standards, and the final assembly is function-tested on the vehicle. The remanufacturing process also supports reduced material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
